/etc/sysconfig/iptables has to be in a certain format for the startup scripts to load them properly.
Flush your iptables first, load your iptables rules manually, and then run /sbin/service iptables save That command will then save the currently loaded netfilter rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables in the correct format. Good luck, Andy. -----Original Message----- From: linux power [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 17, 2002 11:06 AM To: redhat mail list Subject: Why doesnt iptables load the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file? Why doesnt linux load the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file? I have a shell script I run with the iptables rules, and they are saved in /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. But when I restart iptables it dont load the file. The permissions for the file is --rw--r--r The permissions was before I changed it --rw-- --- I have checked that the rules are not loaded with /sbin/iptables -L It worked a few days ago. Is it the cron demon that change the settings. ______________________________________________________ Se den nye Yahoo!
